Apartment building in Viella

The purpose of this project is the construction of apartments and commercial premises. The planned apartment buildings are intended to house as many different needs as possible in regard to small holiday homes. In this sense, efforts have been made to provide them with the greatest flexibility to accommodate different groups and families.

With this being one of the most interesting objectives in this project, the fundamental general aim has been to respect the environment of the valley. The magnificent pieces of "Popular Architecture" of every town constitute an indissoluble unity with the splendid landscape. The main materials, -stone and slate-, harmonize with the natural environment producing an impression of calm serenity.

This is what we have been tried in the project: to harmonize the current needs with an architecture acclimated with nature and with the traditional architectures of the place. Analogous materials have been used: stone and slate, and the forms of the building intend to adapt, without losing their current status, to the old constructions of the towns that surround the building.

The general characteristic of the building is that this construction is made with two towers isolated among them, except the garage, which covers part of each. Each tower consists of six floors, ground floor and basement (for garages with room for 65 vehicles).
